Water Landing

Scanwich

I had a delicious sandwich I wanted to share with you.

Kensington Strobe

Had a "field trip" to Kensington today with photography class. Brought some strobes and high powered flashes down and had a grand old time. Here are couple from the day. You can view them in high quality on flickr here.

Need Energy

I'm taking a break from writing and essay, didn't really have any thing to post so I'm just posting this for the hell of it. Another stock photo for school. Nothing spectacular but, I killed some time posting it just now so I'm happy.

hungry

had to take some stock photos for school. here is the hunger themed one.

tolie

this is the bathroom of centre island I took a while back

Oh yeah, It's my birthday

my hair is way longer than this now

Crop

I can't decide, I think I like the cropped one more and I'm a linear dude so I like the boardwalk but I just don't know this time. thirds is better on the crop.

texture

a post for post's sake.... intersecting boat ripples

Daniel Eatock

I don't do this often and haven't done it in awhile (post other people's stuff) but, I found this while cruising It's Nice That and thought it was really cool. Then when I explored further found some pretty witty, pretty interesting things and wanted to share it. You can check out Daniel Eatock's website here. (check out the 'do not touch' (counter balance shelves)).

the finer things

UPDATE: the forth photo here was recently used on blogTO's Morning Brew, you can see it here, this is my second photo to be used by blogTO you can see the other, used for the weekend radar, here.

bicycle rides by the water front and distillery dist have become our new thing.

pretty sure we found a new place to live, hopefully signing the lease tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Calendar Replacement

So we have this calendar of homeless people, very Joey L. just no where near as good. Anyways this month is just way to creepy to have up in our kitchen and when you are surround by these guys on a day to day basis and some of the photos are even taken blocks away from us, it loses it impact. So, Sonia and I decided to take a replacement photo, these are some of the out takes.

There are a couple more of my silly hair on Flickr.

some things

Had a crazy time moving some of the last things from my parents place driving back and forth from Toronto to Orangeville to school to home and all over in between, getting pulled over for having a out headlight, not awesome. At the end of it all I had the car at school, so we filled it up and had a hang out sesh with great friends. These are just some snap shots of our stroll DT. a few more on flickr here.

Jacob W.K.

Had to make an album cover for class. I chose to make a re-edit of Andrew W.K.'s party rock debut.

Also took a 9 photo panoramic stitch that's posted on flickr. It was just way to large to post here, wouldn't of looked any good. But you can see it here.

More Thanks Given

Some more from the past weekend. The hitch-hiker was the best thing of my life. Sitting on a 70 ft cliff or so, having a coldie and along comes this hitch-hiker in the middle of no where. I had to take pictures, so good. There is one more photo on flickr here.

Pano Sky

Possible submission for a panorama assignment I have to do for school. 4 x 30s exposures stitched together. Haven't decided to use this one or one in the city. Still pondering.

Took this very late while up in Haliburton area this weekend with Sonia's family for Thanksgiving. Had a wonderful time, so much fun.

Placid x Bon Voyage

I took the day off school to catch up on some assignments I have been procrastinating from doing. When I finished I spent some time time cleaning out my hard drives and I found some older photos from our family camping trip to Algonquin this summer.

Speaking of family, my parents have left Ontario and are in Calgary making their way through Alberta and BC whilst eventually traveling home to Australia to which they are returning permanently. They have said enough with these Canadian winters and moved back to the mother land and warmth, not to mention the rest of my extended family. It wont be long now till we are down there visiting. Bon Voyage mom and dad as you explore the best part of one of the greatest countries and you return to the other great country. Love you.

MSTRKRFT x U2 x BORN RUFFIANS x 150

So this is going to be a biggy!

This is my 15oth post! Recently I have gone back to my 2nd year of school, started going out again, had my wisdom teeth removed and all sorts of other stuff.

Last Tuesday Mstrkrft played a set at Tattoo. Sonia and I went with some friends and wild'd out until we were drenched with other peoples sweat and couldn't breath. Awesome tunes as always, the boys are definitely a hit and I believe its time to up-size venues!


Thusday, we pulled a very Sonia & Jacob move a hooked up some last minute floor tickets for U2 at the Sky Dome (rogers centre). It was amazing, I've never seen a show quite like it. Not to mention there you are on the grass of the Sky Dome under the lights of the CN Tower with U2 playing away. Very awesome and a big change from the mstrkrft show a couple nights before.

On Friday I had my wisdom teeth removed finally, Thank God! It's not the nicest feeling but what a relief to have them gone never to bother me again. On Saturday night after spending the whole day drugged up on pain relievers packing up my things from my parents house in Orangeville in preparation for them moving back to Australia. Sonia and I arrived home expecting just to chill out and watch some movies when she reminded me Born Ruffians were playing at the Oprah House. A couple quick website look ups and and few phone calls to find out about tickets and we were in a cab on our way there. There was a awesome band opening called the Acorns whom use ukuleles in their songs. Really great night, good wholesome fun.


Meet Guillermo, Soni and my Mexican friend. He spent a lot of time with us at So Hip this summer while learning English in Toronto. We loved him so much we renamed the giant piranha at so hip Guillermo, the king. We miss him.

...there's a couple other things on my flickr

Wild Horses

We went up to Paul & Sonia's property for a little time off and to celebrate my Sonia's birthday back in June. Ran into some horses while driving around on the uatv. Paul and I found a raccoon and her baby chilling in the out house of an old hunting cabin. So, when Sonia and Sonia came back from the spa they wanted to get some apples and go out and feed the bandits. We had no luck with the raccoons but the apples proved useful in coxing the horses over to the fence.

Went back to school today, first day of second year.

Riverdale Farms X Muskoka

Sonia and I took some time off during the last week in August to go up to Muskoka to hang with the Burton crew at the Soulsports cottage to do some wake surfing and sun bathing, fireside sitting and beer sipping. After a night there, we boogied over to visit Andrew's cottage just out of Port Carling. When we were leaving Wednesday moring we saw a deer grazing by the road and pulled over to snap some shots, wasn't to bothered by us, so much so that Sonia got out of the car!

We arrived home with enough time to visit Riverdale Farms, which is right near us about 2 blocks. An amazing little farm with heavily forrested trails and ponds. Really nice in the afternoon. There are lots of photos on my flickr including some pictures of the tomotoes and chillies we grew on our little deck.

Fake Summer - Dirty Lens

Summer for me is really just another season. It doesn't mean big vay-cays or cottaging on a lake, it's just as busy if not more than when I'm attending uni. I have noticed throughout my blog I comment a lot about being busy, so I apologize if it is becoming monotonous. But that seems to just be who I am, I'm unable to avoid it.

This may sound like a cop out but it is proving rather difficult to find the time shoot. I don't like hauling my cam back and forth in and out of the car not to use it. I have been trying to take a picture of Orangeville for a while now and its proving more difficult than I thought. And my lens is filthy! These photos are a flashback to some of my older photos for me, kind of like a remix.

*just to prove how busy I am, I started this post a month ago, got busy, saved it as a draft and didn't do it till now (Aug 16).

I have lots more content to put up of fun stuff I promise to post when I find the time.
